I am trying to see if the DE works on my dogs because they are in a 2 acre fenced in area and are rarely out of the fence in summer (due to tick season) of if the DE really works or is it just that I am paranoid and don't take them in the woods/pastures during tick season.

The flea life cycle is fairly complex, and understanding the various stages will make it easier to get rid of them.
